Stack is a build tool for Haskell with focus on reproducible build plans, multi-package projects, and a consistent, easy-to-learn interface. With stack, one can create new project: stack new my-project yesod-sqlite (more in the quick start guide: https://www.yesodweb.com/page/quickstart)

models is used to define shape of the data and Yesod uses it to generate datatypes and database for you. For example, to define a Star that has name, spectral type, luminosity class and link to StarSystem, one can write:

Cool game idea, cool intro

This sounds like it would be kind of an amazing game, actually. I hope it happens. If not, it's still a neat idea.

And thanks for the taste of Haskell. I've been mildly curious about it for a while, so it's nice to hear something substantial about it.

thanks

Thanks, I'm kind of fond of the idea too. Ideas of course are cheap and actual implementation is the tricky part. But I'm trying to get at least very minimally working system up and running at somepoint. Main idea is just to explore idea of writing such a game and learn a bit Haskell and Elm on the side.
